Claiming Your Place....

I have been plodding my way through this book on living the second half of your life on purpose. I have this silly thing about finishing books when I have gotten so many pages into it I feel obligated to keep going with it. In the beginning of the book I just couldn't wrap my thoughts around it, but as I kept reading I found more and more to reflect on. One of the things I read this morning was "Why are we so obsessed with what we lose as we age, and unclear about what we gain?" Lately, as you all probably can attest to, I have done a lot of whining about being almost 70 and how old I am getting. I am going to try to quit bemoaning the age thing and think more clearly what I have gained in these years.
